Brevibacterium liquefaciens ATCC 14929T was reclassified as Corynebacterium liquefaciens by Lanéelle et al. (1980) . A further study by Stackebrandt et al. (1983) described the same strain, indicating high genomic and chemotaxonomic relatedness to Arthrobacter nicotianae; however, reclassification was not formally proposed. Because of the discrepancies between their previous work and the data of Collins & Kroppenstedt (1983) , Lanéelle and colleagues re-examined B. liquefaciens and withdrew their recommendation for the assignment of B. liquefaciens to the genus Corynebacterium ( Lanéelle et al., 1984 ). Formal reclassification of B. liquefaciens as A. nicotianae is now proposed.
